TECHNICAL FIELD
[0002] This application relates to the field of power technologies, and in particular, to
a chip, a signal level shifter circuit, and an electronic device.
BACKGROUND
[0003] In a power management field, commonly used topologies include half-bridge, full-bridge,
active clamp fly-back converter (active clamp fly-back converter, ACF), and the like.
A half-bridge structure is used as an example. As shown in FIG. 1, the half-bridge
structure includes a controller, a high-side driver, a low-side driver, a high-side
power transistor, and a low-side power transistor. One end of the low-side driver
is grounded, and the other end of the low-side driver is connected to a power supply
VCC. An input voltage at one end of the high-side driver is a VB, and the other end
of the high-side driver is connected to switching (switching, SW), where the SW is
a reference voltage point of the high-side driver. As shown in FIG. 2, a VB may be
a voltage transmitted by a VCC through a high-voltage diode. A low side is relative
to a high side. A grounded side is generally a low side, and a side connected to SW
is generally a high side. A voltage of the SW is related to an input voltage VDD of
a high-side power transistor. Therefore, the voltage of the SW changes between 0 and
VDD.
[0004] Because one end of the high-side driver is connected to the VB and the SW dynamically
changes, a value of the VB also changes. Specifically, the value of the VB may reach
hundreds of volts in a period. Therefore, the high-side driver needs to be high-voltage
resistant. A high-voltage resistant component usually adopts a high-voltage BCD component
manufactured by using a high-voltage BCD technology. However, the high-voltage BCD
technology has a relatively high requirement, resulting in high costs of the high-voltage
BCD component.
[0005] Therefore, it is urgent to provide a solution for replacing the high-side driver
with a component manufactured by using a relatively simple technology while enabling
a pulse signal of the controller to be normally
SUMMARY
[0006] Embodiments of this application provide a chip and a signal level shifter circuit,
to ensure that a low-voltage silicon-based driver die manufactured by using a low-voltage
BCD technology is not damaged by a high input voltage when being used as a high-side
driver, and can also normally receive a pulse signal output by a controller, thereby
reducing costs of the chip and the signal level shifter circuit. The embodiments of
this application further provide a corresponding electronic device.

another input voltage VDD for the chip 100.

signal to the chip 100, to control the chip to work. The controller 200 is further
connected to the load 30, so that when the load 30 is fully charged, the controller
200 may be notified, and the controller 200 may notify the chip 100, and further control
the transformer 400 to stop charging the load, thereby avoiding damage to the load
due to overcharge.

circuit 1031 and a low-side gallium nitride power transistor 1032 are integrated on
the first gallium nitride die 103, and a high-side gallium nitride power transistor
1041 is integrated on the second gallium nitride die 104.
[0061] Both two output terminals of the controller 200 are connected to the first silicon-based
driver die. After a pulse signal LI output by the controller 200 passes through the
first silicon-based driver die 101 and becomes LO, the low-side gallium nitride power
transistor is driven. A process from LI to LO of the pulse signal is usually a signal
amplification process. After a pulse signal HI output by the controller 200 is transferred
to the second silicon-based driver die 102 and becomes HO, the high-side gallium nitride
power transistor is driven. A transfer process of the pulse signal HI is from the
first silicon-based circuit 1011, to the gallium nitride circuit 1031, and then to
the second silicon-based circuit 1021, and finally, the signal HO output from the
second silicon-based driver die 102 is used for driving the high-side gallium nitride
power transistor 1041 to work.
[0062] It can be learned from the foregoing solution that, in the chip 100 provided in this
embodiment of this application, the first silicon-based circuit 1011 is integrated
on the first silicon-based driver die 101, the second silicon-based circuit 1021 is
integrated on the second silicon-based driver die 102, and the high-voltage resistant
gallium nitride circuit 1031 is integrated on the first gallium nitride die 103. In
this way, by connecting the high-voltage resistant gallium nitride circuit 1031 to
the second silicon-based circuit 1021, and then connecting both the two output terminals
of the controller 200 to the first silicon-based driver die 101, the pulse signal
HI of the controller can be transferred to the second silicon-based circuit 1021 via
the gallium nitride circuit. Because the gallium nitride circuit 1031 can share the
input voltage VB of the second silicon-based circuit, the second silicon-based circuit
is not required to be also high-voltage resistant, and in this way, the second silicon-based
circuit may be a low-voltage silicon-based circuit, thereby reducing chip manufacturing
complexity and also reducing costs.
[0063] The first silicon-based driver die 101, the second silicon-based driver die 102,
the first gallium nitride die 103, and the second gallium nitride die 104 are co-packaged,
so that an area of the chip can be effectively reduced.
[0064] It should be noted that, in this embodiment of this application, a low side and a
high side are relative, a grounded side is usually a low side, and a side connected
to SW is usually a high side. In this embodiment of this application, a high voltage
and a low voltage are also relative, which are usually defined in this field. The
gallium nitride circuit 1031 is usually capable of withstanding a high voltage of
several hundred volts or kilovolts.
[0065] The first silicon-based circuit 1011, the second silicon-based circuit 1021, and
the gallium nitride circuit 1031 in the foregoing FIG. 4, and connection lines among
the three are signal level shifter circuits. The signal level shifter circuit may
be combined into the solution described in the foregoing FIG. 4, or may be an independent
signal level shifter circuit. The signal level shifter circuit may be located in one
device, or may be separately integrated in different devices based on an actual use
requirement. A signal level shifter circuit 1000 in this embodiment of this application
is described below with reference to FIG. 5.
[0066] FIG. 5 is a schematic structural diagram of a signal level shifter circuit 1000 according
to an embodiment of this application.
[0067] As shown in FIG. 5, the signal level shifter circuit 1000 in this embodiment of this
application includes a first silicon-based circuit 1011, a second silicon-based circuit
1021, and a gallium nitride circuit 1031. The gallium nitride circuit 1031 is high-voltage
resistant. The first silicon-based circuit 1011 is connected to the gallium nitride
circuit 1031. A connection manner may be a connection via a conducting wire 1061.
The gallium nitride circuit 1031 is connected to the second silicon-based circuit
1021. A connection manner may be a connection via a conducting wire 1071. The conducting
wire 1061 or 1071 may be a connection line such as Bondires or leadframe.
[0068] The first silicon-based circuit 1011 is connected to a first output terminal 201
of a controller 200. A pulse signal output by the first output terminal 201 is used
for driving a high-side gallium nitride power transistor, and the pulse signal output
by the first output terminal 201 may be represented by HI. A second output terminal
of the controller 200 is connected to a first BCD driver die. A pulse signal output
by the second output terminal is used for driving a low-side gallium nitride power
transistor, and the pulse signal output by the second output terminal may be represented
by LI. The pulse signal LI output by the second output terminal has been described
in the embodiment in FIG. 4, and is not described herein again.
[0069] After the pulse signal HI output by the first output terminal 201 reaches the first
silicon-based circuit 1011, the pulse signal HI may be transferred to the gallium
nitride circuit 1031 via the conducting wire 1061.
[0070] In this embodiment of this application, both the two output terminals of the controller
are connected to the first silicon-based driver die, and do not need to be connected
to a high-side driver die.
[0071] The first silicon-based circuit 1011 receives the pulse signal HI output by the first
output terminal 201 of the controller 200, and transfers the pulse signal HI to the
gallium nitride circuit 1031 via the conducting wire 1061. The gallium nitride circuit
1031 may communicate with the second silicon-based circuit 1021 via the conducting
wire 1071, to share an input voltage VB of the second silicon-based circuit 1021.
The gallium nitride circuit 1031 transfers the pulse signal HI to the second silicon-based
circuit 1021 via the conducting wire 1071.
[0072] It can be learned from the foregoing solution that, in this embodiment of this application,
the gallium nitride circuit 1031 is connected to the second silicon-based circuit
1021, and then both the two output terminals of the controller 200 are connected to
the first silicon-based driver die. In this way, the pulse signal HI of the controller
200 can be transferred to the second silicon-based circuit 1021 via the gallium nitride
circuit 1031. Because the gallium nitride circuit 1031 can share the input voltage
VB of the second silicon-based circuit 1021, the second silicon-based circuit 1021
is not required to be also high-voltage resistant, and in this way, the second silicon-based
circuit 1021 may be a low-voltage silicon-based circuit, and the second silicon-based
driver die is also only required to be a low-voltage silicon-based driver die, thereby
reducing costs of the signal level shifter circuit.
[0073] The foregoing describes working processes of the signal level shifter circuit 1000
and the controller 200 as a whole. Because this embodiment of this application focuses
on describing how to transfer the pulse signal to the second silicon-based circuit
1021 via the first silicon-based circuit 1011 and the gallium nitride circuit 1031,
the following separately describes this process by using different embodiments.

a second high-voltage MOS transistor 10312, and a drain of the second low-voltage
MOS transistor 10113 is connected to a source of the second high-voltage MOS transistor
10312.
[0079] The second low-voltage MOS transistor 10113 is conducted under an effect of a falling
edge signal R
HI of the pulse signal, and a second current flows through the second low-voltage MOS
transistor 10113, where the second current flows from the second silicon-based circuit
1021 to the second high-voltage MOS transistor 10312, flows from the source of the
second high-voltage MOS transistor 10312 to the drain of the second low-voltage MOS
transistor 10113, and flows from a source of the second low-voltage MOS transistor
10113 to ground. A second voltage shared by the second high-voltage MOS transistor
10312 is a product between the second current and internal resistance of the second
high-voltage MOS transistor.
[0080] The second silicon-based circuit 1021 further includes a second resistor 10212, the
input voltage VB is input from one end of the second resistor 10212, and the other
end of the second resistor 10212 is connected to a second output voltage terminal
of the second silicon-based circuit 1021; and a product between the second resistor
and the second current is a second output voltage R
HO of the second silicon-based circuit 1021 generated under the effect of the falling
edge signal of the pulse signal, and the second output voltage R
HO is output via the second output voltage terminal.
[0081] The following describes a voltage division process of the gallium nitride circuit
1031 and a process from S
HI to S
HO and from R
HI to R
HO of signals in another manner with reference to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7.
[0082] As shown in FIG. 6, a port in the first silicon-based circuit 1011 is connected to
a gate of the first high-voltage MOS transistor 10311 via a conducting wire 10613,
and the first high-voltage MOS transistor 10311 is conducted by using an input voltage
V
H. In this way, after the first low-voltage MOS transistor 10111 is conducted under
the effect of the rising edge signal S
HI of the pulse signal HI, a path from one end that is connected to the input voltage
VB and that is of the first resistor 10211 to the drain of the first high-voltage
MOS transistor 10311 via a conducting wire 10711, then to the source of the first
high-voltage MOS transistor 10311, to the drain of the first low-voltage MOS transistor
10111 via a conducting wire 10611, and then to the source of the first low-voltage
MOS transistor 10111, then to the resistor 10112, and then to the ground is formed.
The first current flows from the first resistor 10211 to the ground through the foregoing
path. The pulse signal HI is usually 6 V, provided that the first low-voltage MOS
transistor 10111 can be conducted. A voltage value of the pulse signal HI may be determined
based on an actual situation.
[0083] A voltage of the foregoing path is VB. The first current flows from the first resistor
10211 to the ground, voltage division is implemented in a flow process of the first
current, the first current flows through the first high-voltage MOS transistor 10311,
and a voltage shared by the first high-voltage MOS transistor 10311 is the product
between the first current and the internal resistance of the first high-voltage MOS
transistor 10311. Because the internal resistance of the first high-voltage MOS transistor
10311 is very large, the first high-voltage MOS transistor 10311 also shares a very
large voltage. The other end of the first resistor 10211 is connected to the output
terminal of the second silicon-based circuit 1021. The voltage S
HO output by the output terminal is the product between the first current and the first
resistor 10211. A resistance value of the first resistor is usually not large, and
therefore S
HO is not large, either. The second silicon-based circuit may use a low-voltage BCD
device.
[0084] Similarly, for an end of the falling edge signal R
HI of the pulse signal HI, a process is also basically the same. A port in the first
silicon-based circuit 1011 is connected to a gate of the second high-voltage MOS transistor
10312 via the conducting wire 10613, and the second high-voltage MOS transistor 10312
is conducted by using the input voltage V
H. In this way, after the second low-voltage MOS transistor 10113 is conducted under
the effect of the falling edge signal R
HI of the pulse signal HI, a path from one end that is connected to the input voltage
VB and that is of the second resistor 10212 to the drain of the second high-voltage
MOS transistor 10312 via a conducting wire 10712, then to the source of the second
high-voltage MOS transistor 10312, to the drain of the second low-voltage MOS transistor
10113 via a conducting wire 10612, and then to the source of the second low-voltage
MOS transistor 10113, then to the resistor 10114, and then to the ground is formed.
The second current flows from the second resistor 10212 to the ground through the
foregoing path. The pulse signal HI is usually 6 V, provided that the second low-voltage
MOS transistor 10113 can be conducted. A voltage value of the pulse signal HI may
be determined based on an actual situation.
[0085] A voltage of the foregoing path is VB. The second current flows from the second resistor
10212 to the ground, voltage division is implemented in a flow process of the second
current, the second current flows through the second high-voltage MOS transistor 10312,
and a voltage shared by the second high-voltage MOS transistor 10312 is the product
between the second current and the internal resistance of the second high-voltage
MOS transistor 10312. Because the internal resistance of the second high-voltage MOS
transistor 10312 is very large, the second high-voltage MOS transistor 10312 also
shares a very large voltage. The other end of the second resistor 10212 is connected
to the output terminal of the second silicon-based circuit 1021. The voltage R
HO output by the output terminal is the product between the second current and the second
resistor 10212. A resistance value of the second resistor is usually not large, and
therefore R
HO is not large, either. The second silicon-based circuit may use a low-voltage BCD
device.
[0086] FIG. 6 describes an implementation, and the following describes another implementation
with reference to FIG. 8.
[0087] FIG. 8 is another schematic structural diagram of the signal level shifter circuit
according to this embodiment of this application.
[0088] As shown in FIG. 8, in the signal level shifter circuit in this embodiment of this
application, the first silicon-based circuit 1011 includes a first input voltage terminal
10115, the gallium nitride circuit 1031 includes a third high-voltage MOS transistor
10313, and the first input voltage terminal 10115 is connected to a gate of the third
high-voltage MOS transistor 10313.
[0089] The first input voltage terminal receives the rising edge signal S
HI of the pulse signal, and transfers the rising edge signal S
HI to the gate of the third high-voltage MOS transistor 10313. The third high-voltage
MOS transistor 10313 is conducted under an effect of the rising edge signal and a
third current flows through the third high-voltage MOS transistor 10313. The third
current flows from the second silicon-based circuit 1021 to the third high-voltage
MOS transistor 10313, and flows from a source of the third high-voltage MOS transistor
10313 to the ground. A third voltage shared by the third high-voltage MOS transistor
10313 is a product between the third current and internal resistance of the third
high-voltage MOS transistor.
[0090] The second silicon-based circuit 1021 further includes a third resistor 10213. The
input voltage VB is input from one end of the third resistor 10213, and the other
end of the third resistor 10213 is connected to a third output voltage terminal of
the second silicon-based circuit 1021. A product between the third resistor 10213
and the third current is a third output voltage of the second silicon-based circuit
1021 generated under the effect of the rising edge signal, and the third output voltage
S
HO is output via the third output voltage terminal.
[0091] The first silicon-based circuit 1011 further includes a second input voltage terminal
10116, the gallium nitride circuit 1031 further includes a fourth high-voltage MOS
transistor 10315, and the second input voltage terminal 10116 is connected to a gate
of the fourth high-voltage MOS transistor 10315. The second input voltage terminal
10116 receives a falling edge signal R
HI of the pulse signal, and transfers the falling edge signal R
HI to the gate of the fourth high-voltage MOS transistor 10315. The fourth high-voltage
MOS transistor 10315 is conducted under an effect of the falling edge signal, and
a fourth current flows through the fourth high-voltage MOS transistor 10315, where
the fourth current flows from the second silicon-based circuit 1021 to the fourth
high-voltage MOS transistor 10315, and flows from a source of the fourth high-voltage
MOS transistor 10315 to the ground. A fourth voltage shared by the fourth high-voltage
MOS transistor 10315 is a product between the fourth current and internal resistance
of the fourth high-voltage MOS transistor 10315.
[0092] The second silicon-based circuit 1021 further includes a fourth resistor 10214, the
input voltage VB is input from one end of the fourth resistor 10214, and the other
end of the fourth resistor 10214 is connected to a fourth output voltage terminal
of the second silicon-based circuit 1021. A product between the fourth resistor 10214
and the fourth current is a fourth output voltage of the second silicon-based circuit
1021 generated under the effect of the falling edge signal, and the fourth output
voltage R
HO is output via the fourth output voltage terminal.
[0093] The following describes the voltage division process of the gallium nitride circuit
1031 and the process from S
HI to S
HO and from R
HI to R
HO of signals in another manner with reference to FIG. 7 and FIG. 8.
[0094] After the rising edge signal S
HI is input from the first input voltage terminal 10115, the rising edge signal S
HI is transferred to the gate of the third high-voltage MOS transistor 10313 via a conducting
wire 10614, to further conduct the third high-voltage MOS transistor 10313, thereby
forming a path from one end that is connected to the input voltage VB and that is
of the third resistor 10213 to the drain of the third high-voltage MOS transistor
10313 via a conducting wire 10713, then to the source of the third high-voltage MOS
transistor 10313, and to the ground via a resistor 10314.
[0095] A voltage of the foregoing path is VB. The third current flows from the third resistor
10213 to the ground, voltage division is implemented in a flow process of the third
current, the third current flows through the third high-voltage MOS transistor 10313,
and a voltage shared by the third high-voltage MOS transistor 10313 is the product
between the third current and the internal resistance of the third high-voltage MOS
transistor 10313. Because the internal resistance of the third high-voltage MOS transistor
10313 is very large, the third high-voltage MOS transistor 10313 also shares a very
large voltage. The other end of the third resistor 10213 is connected to the output
terminal of the second silicon-based circuit 1021. The voltage S
HO output by the output terminal is the product between the third current and the third
resistor 10213. A resistance value of the third resistor 10213 is usually not large,
and therefore S
HO is not large, either. The second silicon-based circuit 1021 uses a low-voltage BCD
device.
[0096] Similarly, for an end of the falling edge signal R
HI of the pulse signal HI, a process is also basically the same. After the falling edge
signal R
HI is input from the second input voltage terminal 10116, the falling edge signal R
HI is transferred to the gate of the fourth high-voltage MOS transistor 10315 via a
conducting wire 10615, to further conduct the fourth high-voltage MOS transistor 10315,
thereby forming a path from one end that is connected to the input voltage VB and
that is of the fourth resistor 10214 to the drain of the fourth high-voltage MOS transistor
10315 via a conducting wire 10714, then to the source of the fourth high-voltage MOS
transistor 10315, and to the ground via a resistor 10316.
[0097] A voltage of the foregoing path is VB. The fourth current flows from the fourth resistor
10214 to the ground, voltage division is implemented in a flow process of the fourth
current, the fourth current flows through the fourth high-voltage MOS transistor 10315,
and a voltage shared by the fourth high-voltage MOS transistor 10315 is the product
between the fourth current and the internal resistance of the fourth high-voltage
MOS transistor 10315. Because the internal resistance of the fourth high-voltage MOS
transistor 10315 is very large, the fourth high-voltage MOS transistor 10315 also
shares a very large voltage. The other end of the fourth resistor 10214 is connected
to the output terminal of the second silicon-based circuit 1021. The voltage R
HO output by the output terminal is the product between the fourth current and the fourth
resistor 10214. A resistance value of the fourth resistor 10214 is usually not large,
and therefore R
HO is not large, either. The second silicon-based circuit 1021 uses a low-voltage BCD
device, so that costs of the signal level shifter circuit are reduced.
